Introducing Synaptics Coralboard™
True Edge AI Developer Freedom
Synaptics Coralboard™ Overview
Synaptics, in partnership with Google Research, brings the next generation of the Google Coral Edge AI platform to life with the Coralboard portfolio. Built for ultra-low power, always-on applications using ambient sensing, the Coralboard is designed to deliver efficient, accelerated on-device inference for resource-constrained form factors.
Create multimodal experiences leveraging the power of open source software and AI tooling, with the first in the line of the series, the Synaptics Coralboard SL.
Now available through DigiKey's global distribution network.

“Our collaboration with Synaptics started from a shared view of what open Edge AI hardware should look like, and the Coralboard SL was the first developer-ready solution we co-created,” said Billy Rutledge, Director, Google Research. “The Synaptics Astra SR200 series now brings the second generation of the Coral NPU IP with RISC-V vector core support into silicon, and the Coralboard SR puts that in developers’ hands. Each version widens what can run at the Edge without asking developers to start over.”

“Edge AI is where the next wave of design activity is happening, and developers need a starting point they can trust,” said Mike Slater, Vice President of Global Business Development, DigiKey. “As the exclusive distribution partner for the Synaptics Coralboard, we are putting an open, production-ready design platform in front of millions of engineers in our global network.”

"The Synaptics Coralboard is a starting line the whole ecosystem can share,” said Olivier Lacombe, Product Director, Google DeepMind. “With Gemma models optimized and ready to run on Coralboard, developers can stop solving the same integration puzzle, scale the model as their application requirements evolve, and start building the things only they can imagine.

“NPU compilers have largely been closed, black-box toolchains, which makes an open-source compiler like Synaptics Torq™ stand out in our industry,” said Daniel Chang, CEO, ENERZAi. “As a contributor to the Torq project, we've seen first-hand how its open, MLIR-based design gives developers the freedom to inspect, extend, and optimize models to accelerators. At the same time, as an Edge AI software company commercializing 1.58-bit on-device AI agents, we see Torq as a flexible and compelling path to bring these models into real-world products.”
